<H2>Compiling and installing ASC on Unix systems</H2><p>
</CENTER>

<p>Compiling and installing ASC is simple. Just run: <br>
<blockquote>
<tt>configure<br>
make<br>
make install<br>
</tt>
</blockquote><p>
That's enough to run ASC, but it does not include the music (which is too big to be included in the source package).

<A name="music">
<H3>Installing the Music</H3>

Just call the <tt>getmusic</tt> script and run <tt>configure</tt> and <tt>make</tt> again. <p>

Or you can download and install the music manually after you installed ASC. Download these files:
<ul>
<li><A HREF="http://www.asc-hq.de/frontiers.mp3">frontiers.mp3</A>
<li><A HREF="http://www.asc-hq.de/time_to_strike.mp3">time_to_strike.mp3</A>
<li><A HREF="http://www.asc-hq.de/machine_wars.mp3">machine_wars.mp3</A>
</ul>

and place them in one of these paths:

<pre>
  ~/.asc/music/
  /var/local/games/asc/music/
  /var/games/asc/music/
  /usr/local/share/games/asc/music/
  /usr/share/games/asc/music/
 </pre>
 
ASC will automatically detect and play them. You can also place any other MP3 files there, or make <tt>music</tt> a symlink to your MP3 collection.
